This paper discusses the novel "Gaobie de niandai" ("The Era that we has said goodbye"), written by Li Zishu, the famous female writer of Malaysia Chinese Literature. It analyses two characteristics in this novel: mini-narrative and metafiction. The novel chooses the 513 violent accident in Malaysia in 1969 as the beginning of a new Malaysian Chinese family history and uses mini-narrative to challenge the traditional grand narration of Malaysian Chinese history. This shows the author's unique perspective of understanding the change of Malaysian Chinese after 1969. Meanwhile, this novel uses the rhetoric of metafiction so as to constantly interrupt the nostalgia feeling established through mini-narrative about that period of history. It shows the impossibility of finding one's identity and the truth of history. But such deconstruction also makes the author's standpoint of that era become ambivalent. Finally, this paper also discusses Li Zishu's position in Sinophone literature and believes that she is not a marginalized writer. Therefore, the feeling of being marginalized found in her novel should be examined under the system of Malaysian literature rather than under the system of Sinophone literature.
